1) look in /etc/clamd.conf -> what is LocalSocket set to?
    mine says /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock
    make sure that it points down a valid directory path
1a) does that socket exist?
    what does    ls -lrt /whatever/your/path/is   return?
2) make sure the ruby script has execute permissions
3) do you have the zenity package installed?
3a) do have ruby  installed?
4) use evo to save an email message to the filesystem && cat it to the script 
and echo the return status....
    cat saved_email | /path/to/rubyclamav.rb
    echo $?
    what did the echo $?  return?
5) did you setup your filter ala the png that was attached to my earlier email?
6) is clamav running
   what does  ps -ef|grep clam    return?
